Replicated Wolter-I X-ray Optics for Lightweight, High Angular Resolution, Large Collecting Area X-Ray Telescopes
Abstract
The next generation of orbiting x-ray observatories will require high angular resolution telescopes that have an order of magnitude greater collecting area in the 0.1-10 keV spectral region than those currently under construction, but with a much lower weight and cost per unit area. Replicated Wolter-I x-ray optics have the potential to meet this requirement. The currently demonstrated capabilities of replicated Wolter-I optics will be described, and a development plan for creating lightweight, high angular resolution, large effective area x-ray telescopes will be presented.
